Dotted by thousands of boat docks, one might think that the bass would be tucked up under them and the winning patterns would be pitching a jig to them. But, the majority of the leaders are targeting bass off the docks and using horizontal baits. Sunny, slick conditions kill the jerkbait bite. Crankbaits don't fair much better.
Quick Tips for Success at the Classic
- 45 degree rock bank
- docks and points on main lake points
- pea gravel
- wind, rain, overcast conditions are best
- local favourite is Swithwick Rogue
- Jason Christie (local favourite and currently in ) started with the magnum Rogue in Silver/Blue
- best bite in first few hours and late afternoon
- Alabama rig is banned on Elite tournament trail but devastating on recent Grand Lake tournaments
- Best jerkbaits: Jackall Sqaudminnow (Pace); Molix jerkbait (Iaconelli), Rogue (Christie and many others); Megabass Vision 110 (Martens and many others);Strike King (both Van Dams); Lucky Craft (Palaniuk)
